Motýli vybraných evropsky významných lokalit Libereckého kraje (Česká republika)

Abstract: During four years of research (2009–2012) at six Sites of Community Importance in Liberec Region (Czech Republic) 437 species were recorded from target lepidopteran groups. The most important findings are the hygrophilous moths Phragmatiphila nexa (Hübner, 1808) and Arenostola phragmitidis (Hübner, 1803). The record of P. nexa is the first from the region of North Bohemia. Eleven of the species are included in the Red list of threatened species of the Czech Republic, namely: near threatened – Aporia crataegi (Linnaeus, 1758), Phengaris nausithous (Bergsträsser, 1779); vulnerable – Phengaris teleius (Bergsträsser, 1779), Argynnis adippe (Denis et Schiffermüller, 1775), Drepana curvatula (Borkhausen, 1790), Entephria infidaria (La Harpe, 1853), Orthonama vittata (Borkhausen, 1794), P. nexa; endangered – Rhyparia purpurata (Linnaeus, 1758), Coscinia cribraria (Linnaeus, 1758), Protolampra sobrina (Duponchel, 1843). In the study region, the typical species of wetlands and mesophilous habitats (Phengaris species, Orthonama vittata (Borkhausen, 1794), P. nexa (Hübner, 1808), A. phragmitidis (Hübner, 1803)) and xeric sandbanks (e.g. Coscinia cribraria (Linnaeus, 1758), Agrotis vestigialis (Hufnagel, 1766) were observed, often with high numbers of individuals. Other species, especially Heteropterus morpheus (Pallas, 1771), are interesting from a faunistic point of view. They have very limited occurrence in Bohemia, often centred mostly on the research area.
